Here's a video, I have the door starting 1 panel down so that it doesn't trip the cable switch for now but would like to be able to run it all the way up.

The cable touches the door when it's about 3/4 way up, after that it starts rubbing and finally jumps over to the front of the door. I'm going to try contacting the builder and see if he will do anything about it. It's been a year and a half so I doubt the door company will do anything about it...

Here's the drum picture, the cable is installed correctly as far as I can tell. Could it be that the track was installed to close to the door causing the drum to be to close to the door not leaving enough room for the cable?

So I looked at it more tonight and the mount for the drum bearing is attached to the top rail. The best I could do would be to move it to the other side of the horizontal track which would maybe gain me a quarter inch which I don't think will be enough.I may just try making a bracket to keep the...

I'll get pix tonight. The drum is against the bearing but the bearing is separate from the track so it could be moved over. The door is a 14 ft door with a 6 inch drum but the cable probably makes 8 loops when it raises moving the cable closer and closer to the door until the cable position is...

I installed an 8500 opener on one of my shed doors this weekend and I'm having issues with the cable tension switch. The way the cable drums are installed when the door is all the way up the cable is overlapping the edge of the door and slides in front of the door, when the door goes down the...

Welcome, There is a ton of information available on this site, a few nice paint booth setups that I will reference when I build my booth.

Not to much. Got a few more outlets installed by the service door. Have been looking at liftmaster 8500 openers for the doors but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Moved some car parts from the house over to make room in the basement. Working on repairing the Wisconsin VH4D engine in the skid...

If your undecided and are pouring larger pads for the lift for more strength just set it up for both areas. That way you have the possibility to move it if you want and it really isn't going to add much to the cost of anything.

I replaced mine a few years ago and another thing to take into account is that longer/wider springs are rated for more cycles typically, you can get multiple length springs for the same door typically depending on what you want to spend. It wasn't much more for the longer springs when I did mine...

There are ones you can sent in the concrete that are U shaped on top that the 6x6 sits in. There are also L type brackets that sit on each side and get cement anchors installed in them to fasten them down.

Looks pretty close to the same color combination I used for my building.

Looking good. Rough work out in the cold. We're they working through the really cold spell?

Are you going to run the electrical outside the walls in conduit? Also is the insulation technique to limit cold joints like you would get with running additional 2x6 vertically? I may do something similar In my shed, I'm planning to put the electrical in the wall so I may need to do something...

How big are your doors? I'm looking at the 8500's for my 12x14 doors. They fit in the sqft spec so I think they should be fine but some real world info would be cool.

Got the power hooked up in my shed a few weeks ago and got the wiring and outlets installed 3 weeks ago 1 fixture last weekend, and the final 3 today. I put up 4 T8 6 bulb high bay fixture. I finally have light!

WPS just ran the gas line from down the road where the gas ended at my neighbors house about 100 feet, under the road, and 200+ feet to the side of my shed. Cost 800 dollars.

Another Picture of the car It is car #53 and was never finished by the factory. I drove to Florida to pick it up last month. I purchased it from a guy who bought it directly from the factory over a year ago when Rosin bought out Moslers shop to start building their cars in the states and...

I have all the cars moved into the shed along with my next project, the vehicle farthest to the right, a 1990 Consulier GTP Roadster. 190 HP 2.2 Chrysler turbo II motor. Fiberglass, Kevlar, Carbonfiber Monocoque chassis. Roughly 2000 lbs.

Did some cleaning of the floors in preparation for the densifier. Here are a few pictures of before and after. I'm doing half the building so I can move everything to the other side and then do that side.
